What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to leverage my accounting, finance, treasury, and process-improvement experience in a role where I can grow professionally while contributing adaptable, bilingual financial expertise.

At Gaz Du Cameroun, I lead treasury and accounts payable for a natural gas producer, supporting multimillion-dollar cash flows, liquidity planning, financial reporting, and capital projects.

I manage local, international, and intercompany payments; negotiate loan and foreign-exchange arrangements; and maintain compliance with KYC, anti-money-laundering, IFRS, and OHADA requirements.

I've regularized historical regulatory approval gaps for cross-border intercompany loans and use data analysis and forecasting to support project and management decisions.

Across roles in accounting, accounts payable, and treasury, I've improved controls, reconciliations, cost tracking, and finance workflows, including automation initiatives using generative AI. I'm an ACCA member, CPA Ontario candidate, and fluent in English and French.
